Exotic dancers from all over the country have descended upon the Super Bowl’s host city, Houston, to shake their moneymakers for football fans.

“There are supposed to be 2,000 people at Scores Houston; hopefully, I’ll earn a lot of money,” said Crystal, a 23-year-old blonde from Manhattan’s Scores club. She’s rooting for the Patriots and plans to wear — and then take off — New England’s colors. “I might do something special for [Pats] fans getting lap dances.”

Her Russian-born Scores comrade Cat, 35, likes the Falcons but is mainly “rooting for a high-scoring game. People get happy when teams score; if they’re happy they spend money.”

Chris Chizer, manager at Houston’s newly opened Showtime club, said dancers with big Instagram followings can earn $10,000 to $15,000 per night mostly from dancing onstage.

At Houston club Vivid, cashier Filipa Lamina said Super Bowl-weekend dancers will average $2,500 per night, logging 50 or so lap-dances at $20 apiece to get there. “But it can go higher,” she said. “On Wednesday, an NFL player . . . was celebrating his birthday and threw $1,000 on the stage.”

Lexi, 35, a dancer at Secrets in Tampa, Fla., recalled being in Miami for the 2010 championship game. “There was one NFL player who had me do a 30-minute dance . . . and he gave me $500.”

Plenty of strip-club enthusiasts are in Houston this weekend — including Lil Wayne, who tossed $12,000 onstage at the Ace of Diamonds strip club in Los Angeles in 2016, and Gucci Mane, who hit up Long Island City’s Aces one day after he was released from house arrest. The rappers are performing Sunday at the Ballet, a pop-up gentleman’s club put on by Drake. The Thursday opening featured 30 girls twerking — and keeping their clothes on — while New York Giant Odell Beckham Jr. watched.

Some women have their eyes on a specific prize. A second Lexi — also a Manhattan Scores girl — is focused on Floyd Mayweather. “I’m hoping he’ll [wear] diamonds,” she says of the boxing champ. “I’ll take them right off his neck and wear them.”
